…about as diverse as it gets


East LA is a scenic conglomeration of eight smaller ‘hoods, each with a distinctive feel.

While Glassel Park offers an older, quiet residential district with moderately priced homes, the higher-priced dwellings of Mount Washington surround one of the nation’s steepest roads (with an incline at a towering 33%) and the Autry Arroyo Campus, a little-known gem that encompasses the Southwest Museum building, Casa de Adobe (a reproduction of an 1800s California ranch house) and the Braun Research Library.

Newcomers to Highland Park might seek a windfall by renovating an inexpensive, antiquated home, but Monterey Hills remains a stable, middle-class community with a dynamite jazz festival. Rising above it all, Montecito Heights isn’t exactly lonely at the top. Despite its rugged terrain and lack of major thoroughfares, it’s one of the centers of the historic Arts and Crafts movement.
